Shannon Kay reviewed Emily's Runaway Imagination by Beverly Cleary
Review of "Emily's Runaway Imagination" on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
I loved this book as a young girl and read it several times. The title drew me in, I had and still have a serious runaway imagination. I was intrigued by the setting, both time and place. Hat pins? Don't have a library? People on farms don't eat lunch? These were all new ideas for me. I haven't reread this book in years and even now the details are coming back to me like I read it yesterday.
